Cards stolen? misplaced?

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

I actually had to go back to a house I sold after I had been moved out for a month and ask if I could co into the drop ceiling in the basement to retrieve a few cards. Was my primitive security measure, who would ever look in a drop ceiling? They were still there.

Found them. Just left them in an odd place hidden on a bookshelf.

Great news.
I once misplaced my whole workforces pay one week!
I had to rush to the bank and replace it.
Literally months later I found it stashed in a kitchen drawer under the cutlery!!

I think you will find that as you get older there will be similar mysteries and resolutions befalling you....at an increasingly accelerated rate. At our house my saying "I'm missing a baseball card !!!" has become a mantra/joke.

I know the feeling. Every card that I list on eBay is carefully placed in a storage box. I have it setup in 26 sections for each letter of the alphabet. So, when the auction ends, I can easily find the card based on the players last name. Every so often, I go to retrieve a card under a specific letter and the card is missing. The first thought is that the people who clean my house stole it. My heart drops. How do I explain to the buyer? I then go thru each of the 26 sections, and find that I placed it in the wrong section. A Cobb card might have ended up under T instead of C. It's those few minutes of panic that chip away years from my life.

Getting old, not for the faint-hearted.

I had a super bizarre case a couple years ago. One day all of a sudden I couldn't find a book of through the mail autographs/in person autographs I had. I had brought them to a card shop a couple days earlier to show the owner who I was friends with. A kid and his father ( who was an NFL ref) looked through the cards. I knew nobody there took them but I called the owner and no dice. Though he kept a look out for the cards til he closed. After a day of looking I open a box and notice my watches were gone. Called the police, turns out someone had just walked in and helped themselves when a family member left a door unlocked, the guy walked by 1000's of dollars of cards clearly out in boxes and safes and took pretty much worthless ( but very sentimental) in person and ttm autographs, even minor leaguer signed balls. Never found the cards though I do have a couple ideas as to who probably stole them. It was very odd.

What a drag it is getting old (but fun also )
